I'm sick of the rubbish float needles that are available for these carbs, the replacement ones are just junk, so I fitted a viton tipped needle from a Briggs to one and it solved the problem. I had to file the sides a bit to make it fit but that was very simple. Problem is I can't remember which motor the carb came from but I think it was a from a Talon. I have ordered a needle and viton seat for a Briggs but I'm not sure if I have enough meat in the Victa end cap to drill the needle hole out to take the Briggs seat. Does anybody know the diameter of this Briggs seat?
